The Fruit of Our Love

Dedicated was my one way thinking
planning and guiding my future with you
dreaming of the day we could look back
and see growth, how the fruit of our love
would be the greatest thing in life

But the hands of fate took the best
threw me in the dirt and took the rest
then kicked me while i was down
twist and turned the knife in real good

Well time has never been my friend
always seemed to be on the losing end
scraping by trying make ends meet
sometimes never having enough to eat
meanwhile you get to go on and reap
the benefits of the fruit of our love

As they pass the days get long
twenty years wondering what went wrong
always missing a part of my heart
when it comes right down to it
you were the one that took it away
talking about the fruit of our love

But the hands of fate took the best
threw me in the dirt and took the rest
then kicked me while i was down
twist and turned the knife in real good

During all this time it's been real hard
trying to get someone to listen to my sob story
they keep saying I'm the one who needs to let go
there's no need crying over spilled milk
even if it's the fruit of your own love

So i hope one fine day that she she'll want to say
hello Dad this is the fruit of your old love
i hope you will want to talk about missing me
now it's time you see cuz I'm all grown up

Mom can't stop us from her own hate
and even though she never approved
i want you to see your legacy
I've got my own fruit from own love

Oh the hands of fate took the best
threw me in the dirt and took the rest
then kicked me while i was down
twist and turned the knife in real good
